Thanks for the post at the Bioware boards Quitch, I literally lost this mod until I saw the post.

First, I might as well, but the latest release date I've noticed was late Oct to early Nov and I'm curious as to whether or not its still accurate...seeing that early November is an hour away.

Second, taking everything into consideration (most notably, party strength), where specifically is the best place in ToB to stop? I noticed several ToB items from the screenshots and other posts, so they look important. I also don't want to miss out on anything that might have happened, for example, if some of the Imoen dialogue comes up before you begin the mod.

Thirdly, there're so many mods out there that I'm not sure which to install for the "ideal" game. What works well with RtW? I know I can have other mods installed on top of it, but what's the ideal setup gameplay-wise? The best answer to this would be Cuv and Quitch letting us know what they use when they play. The best plan seems to be: BG2, ToB, Ascencion, Improved Battle Mods and RtW, but what about others like the Solaufein mod?

Now I just have two comments for Cuv:

1. Nice character! Ambrosia I mean. Looks like a lot of fun to play.

2. Anomen!?! (Self-explanitory)

1)
Still in beta testing phase. No released date set.

2)
You can do RTW just after you got the message. Its entirley up to you......

3)
At this moment i have nearly all the WeiDu mods installed. The ones i dont have installed are Item Upgrade and Spell50.
I havent encountered a single problem with this installed mods.

Thanks for the response.

1. There has to be a general date set. Is it accurate to say the mod will be released in November?

2. I'm not really sure what you're saying. It doesn't really answer my question. I don't need to know when I "can" start RtW, but more along the lines of when I "should".

3. WeiDu?

1)
There isnt a general date set. It ay take a few weeks or a few months.

2)
Thats entirely up to you. Mind you, that RTW is a high level mod. It isnt a "I show my godlike powers and stomp the lot of them" mod.
You'll be setting your own difficulty via the dialogues and with the original difficulty.

3) Weimer Dialogue Utility. Most mods here (heck i can say for sure ALL mods here and at FWP) are made with WeidU.

Check out Weimers mod forum here.

1. "Why?" - 'Cause I'm eager ;-)

2. So if I were to, say, clear out Abazigal's and Sendai's Enclaves, would I be over-prepared for RtW?

3. I took a look at Weimer's site and I'm only really interested in Gaider's stuff as extra mods so I've answered my own question. Is that site the best place to get the latest versions of Ascension and the Improved Battles?

I remember trying the Solaufein mod. A bisexual, good-aligned Drow prancing about reciting poems, I could only take so much of. He was...laid to rest (by Sarevok), then his soul eternally destroyed (by me uninstalling his ass). This is personal opinion, but Solaufein was a much better character before I was aware of that mod. I kill him everytime I encounter him as his normal self just for what he may become.

*Spoilishy?*


As long as your main character has Immunity to Level Drain, you should be fine :)

It wasn't very spoilishy, but I'm one scared cat! :D

Err... and... hey! :(

Alright, thanks Gospel.

Don't worry, the vampires and other Undead in the screenshots kind of give away that they're there. ;-)

Judging by your reaction, you're a Balthazar fan huh? I always kill him first.

I liked the original Solaufein, but I didn't like Weimer's interpretation of him.

I liked sola until a drow always came during all my main fights (mostly rtw boss fights and when I was beating big mel and had only 1 or 2 bhaal spawns left) so then i had to stab him alot if you know what I mean.

This really happened? Nobody else is supposed to get inside the dungeon. I would call this an incompatibility.
